In a large skillet heat 2 Tbsp. of the oil over medium heat. Add parsnip noodles; cook, covered, 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine next five ingredients (through salt). Shape into 16 meatballs (coat hands with oil, if necessary). In skillet heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil over medium heat. Add meatballs; cook 10 minutes or until done (165°F),** turning to brown evenly. Remove skillet from heat; remove meatballs. Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and, if desired, chile pepper to skillet. Stir in vinegar, honey, and lime juice. Divide noodles, lettuce, and carrots among bowls. Top with meatballs; drizzle with vinegar mixture. If desired, top with green onions and additional cilantro and/or chile pepper, and serve with lime wedges. *Tip Chile peppers contain oils that can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear plastic or rubber gloves when working with them. **Tip The internal color of a meatball is not a reliable doneness indicator. A chicken meatball cooked to 165°F is safe regardless of color. To measure doneness of a meatball, insert an instant-read thermometer into center of meatball.
